James, Sorry I am not home to measure right now, but I have the following StudioTech stand and the set fits on it perfectly with little room to spare. TV Stand At 40" wide, I think your set will sit RIGHT on the edge. Regarding the XS vs. WF model, it was an easy choice for me for 2...

I too have this set. I feel that the SD quality is better when watched directly through the TV tuner. To do this comparison, I set the STB to channel 3, and started split screen wit the tuner input to channel 3. Unscientific, yes. But to my eyes, the TV tuner looked noticably better. Guy...

James, Any updates? I too am looking at the 55" Sony sets and trying to decide. Would love to hear your thoughts if you picked one up. ALso looking for suggestions on the best place to purchase and if the warranty plan is worth it. I know many say it is a scam, but I tend to be a bit...

I think my main problem may be the size of the room. It's a large room with hardwood floors. The speakers and TV are sitting in the corner of the room with one wall of drywall and one of concrete. Any suggestions on things to do to the room to improve the sound? I am really disappointed with...

Thanks for the responses guys. My setup is in the corner of a room that is maybe 25'x35'. Jerry, can you elaborate on how you've found the room size to influence the sound? To get the speakers even 2' off the side and back walls will require some room arrangement, but I think I'll give...

Well, I guess there is no one display type that is best for bright environments. Jim, I moved into a loft, the whole idea was to get a bright space! I know I'll be sacrificing PQ on the tv, but I am just looking for the best type for what i've got to work with.

Hello all, I am hoping some of the people out there with Mirage experience can help me out to optimize the placement. I have a pair of the Omni 260s as my main speakers. Right now the TV is in the corner of a large room. The speakers are on either side of the TV, about 8 ft apart. Listening...

Hello all, hoping for a little help here. I've just moved into a loft and the main living area is flanked by a wall of windows, thus creating a very bright viewing area. What is the best display type for such a bright area? I have been very happy with my sony trinitron, but am wondering if a...

There is a single digital connection b/w the DVD and AVR. The disk I have been listening to is the Elton John, One Night Only DVD. I have heard that this is an excellent recording. I am comparing 5.1 DTS to (non DTS) Stereo. Thanks.

Scott, that is what I had originally been doing. But then I started listening to some stuff in DTS 5.1, and the sound quality seems to be a good bit better. Sometimes you loose some bass over the stereo mix, but to my ears it sounds cleaner. Is this just my untrained ears deceiving me or...

Well Ben, since noone responded to the negative, I think you should go ahead and pick one up. Thanks for the feedback, I'll give it a shot!

I have a few questions about my Denon 3803's sound processing options. Currently I only have two front tower speakers. On many DVDs there is the option of DTS 5.1 and Stereo. To my ears, the DTS sounds cleaner with a higher SQ. The stereo seems to sound more full, picking up bass that the DTS...

Hey guys, I am thinking about buying the Studio Tech line TV stand and AV racks for my system. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff? I have not been able to find any locally to go check out, but it looks to be sold all over the 'net. Also, you can buy direct from Studio Tech or...

JasonBrown, I would love a Counting Crows disc, although I haven't heard any rumors of one being made. Has anyone checked out the Meatloaf: Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra disc? I always liked the way bands sound with an orchestra backing them up, and in my opinion this is a...

Ryan, YGM.

Thank you for all the responses. I went with the majority opinion and bought the floor model 3803. I have been very pleased with the unit and couldn't be happier with the price, especially considering the full Mfg warranty.

"The universal players are only average redbook cd players, but I have an Arcam to handle CD playback." Can you expand upon this a bit? I was considering the Denon 2200 or 2900 to handle all my CD, SACD, and DVD duties. I would prefer the unit to be equally good at dvd and cd. Would you...

Ferdinand, YGM at your yahoo account. We had traded emails before. Thanks.

I've been looking online for a 4 shelf component rack and DVD/CD storage unit and not having luck finding what I want, so I thought I would come here to ask for recomendations. I want to buy both units to match, and I prefer the metal and glass look. I would like the AV rack to have a good...

Only concerned with the sound from TV broadcasts. Do not have a cable box right now, just the basic cable service right from the wall to the TV. Bill, I have tried using the variable output (set using the TVs sound menu) and it does work. However you must turn the TV volume control up very...

"If I understand correctly, you’re saying that sometimes you just want to watch TV programming without the system on. But at other times you want to watch TV programming with the full system on, and when you do that you want the TV’s speakers off." Wayne, That is what I am looking for...

Sorry for the confusion. Let me try to be more clear. Currently I have two options to hear my TV sound: 1) Played normally through the speakers on the TV 2) Played through the surround sound speakers through the AVR. This requires scrolling through the Sony TV menu and telling it to turn...

I apologize in advance because I am sure this is a dumb question that has been answered before. I am also not sure if this is the correct forum to post this question in but hopefully someone can help me out. I would like to be able to hear the sound from my TV through the TV speakers and the...

I apologize in advance because I am sure this is a dumb question that has been answered before, but I am new to this game so please bear with me. I would like to be able to hear the sound from the TV through the TV speakers and the AVR speakers. I have a Sony TV and right now I have to go...

I got the 260s from Tweeter. For some reason they had them on sale at 50% off a few weeks ago - too good a deal to pass up. What is the going price for the C2? And where may I be able to find it discounted? Right now I only have the two fronts, and want to get the center next but was hoping...

Just what the subject says. Looking for a mirage center channel in good condition to match with my omni 260s. Please email me directly or post back here. Thanks

I have been doing some research and reading through old threads here and would like to get some advise. I currently have only the Mirage omni 260 front speakers. Looking to buy a center channel next. Everyone says you need to match the center to the fronts. I have two problems with that - 1)...

Thanks for the replies so far guys. The floor model has definately been opened and looks to have been used. The salesperson at Tweeter told me that it was opened up ~ 2 months ago when it was their last unit and is now being sold as floor model. He also said it was disconnected and has just...

I am hoping you guys can help me out with some quick advice. I'm looking at receivers and have found the unit I want at the local Tweeter store and at ecost. The prices are within 20 bucks, so that is a non factor. The unit at Tweeter has been a floor model for about 6 months now. The ecost...

Thanks for the replies so far. I have no desire for all those extra features and definately need to stay under the $500 budget. It has taken me a long time to narrow down my choice between the Sony and the Denon units, so adding any more choices now would just make my decision even more...
